Tom Holland Breaking News, Photos, and Videos

The Spider-Man: Homecoming star opened up in a recent interview about how five years ago he put it out into the universe that he wanted to play the superhero, and it came true!

“I was at the Empire Awards in London, and one of the interviewers asked me if I could be a superhero, who would I be? I said, ‘In 10 years, I’d like to be the Spider-Man after Andrew Garfield,’” Tom shared. “I would never have guessed that it would have come true so quickly.”

He’s psychic!

“Putting on the Spider-Man suit is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me in my entire life,” he added. “I still to this day can’t really believe that it’s happened.”

Tom says, “There’s always a real special moment when I put the suit on, especially in front of little kids and they see the suit and their eyes light up. It reminds you of what a real privilege it is to bring that sort of happiness to people.”

Tom Holland is still doing lots of promo work for his upcoming film Spider-Man: Homecoming!

He met up with his co-star Jacob Batalon, and director Jon Watts at the Spider-Man: Homecoming press conference at the Conrad Seoul Hotel on Monday (July 3) in Seoul, South Korea.

If you missed it, a sneak peek of Tom performing on Lip Sync Battle has been released! The show actually aired a few months ago – but if you didn’t see, it’s worth a watch. Tom performs Rihanna‘s “Umbrella” and it’s amazing! Tom takes on his Homecoming co-star Zendaya.

He loves his fans so much that he’ll tick police officers off by throwing crumbled up signed photos from his Spider-Man comics to fans waiting outside his hotel.

Ahead of the Spider-Man: Homecoming premiere this week in Los Angeles, he was holed up in his hotel room, not able to meet the fans outside — so, he improvised.

“The thing is, we weren’t allowed to leave the hotel because of timing issues, we had to get right to an interview,” Tomshared. “So our way of, like, sending the fans things was scrunching up signed pictures and throwing them out the window.”

Tom adds, “Admittedly, the police got really mad at one point and were like, ‘Stop throwing pictures!’ But yeah, we got as many out as we could.”

Tom Holland is just hanging out with his phone on a spiderweb hundreds of feet above ground on the new cover of Entertainment Weekly, on newsstands June 30.

The 21-year-old actor’s Spider-Man: Homecoming co-star Robert Downey Jr had nothing but nice things to say about him in the issue.

“Tom demonstrated a natural internal conflict,” he told the mag. “It’s hard to get to the real meat and potatoes of what makes [a character] tick. I feel that he’s experienced enough to be able to enjoy all the stuff that’s about to happen to him.”
